INTRODUCTION  TO  BUNNY  MANUAL 


Welcome  to  the  world  of  Playboy;     You  can  take  great  pride  in  being 
selected  as  a  Bunny;   it's  a  job  that  you  will   find  is  both  unique  and 
exciting.     The  Playboy  Bunny  has  created  a  new  definition  and  standard 
for  charm,  beauty  and  friendly  service.     Playboy  Clubs  are  world-famous 
for  their  distinctive  decor,   unique  facilities,  good  food,  man-sized 
drinks  and,  particularly,   their  beautiful  Bunnies.     To  guarantee  the 
high  standards  which  our  Keyholders  have  come  to  expect,  we  are 
extremely  selective  in  our  Bunny  hiring  procedures.     For  instance,  in 
opening  a  recent  Club,  we  interviewed  500  girls  but  only  selected  ID 
as  having   the  personality  and  physical   beauty  required  of  our  Bunnies. 
After  a  new  Bunny  is  hired,  she  goes  through  a  complete  and  detailed 
training  program  which  enables  her  to  serve  our  Keyholders,  and  their 
guests,   rapidly  and  efficiently. 

The  Bunny  has  become  what  the  Ziegfeld  girl  was   to  another  generation, 
synonymous  with  the  most  glamorous  young  women  in  the  world.     The 
remarkable  success  of  our  Playboy  Clubs   is  a  direct  outgrowth  of  the 
enthusiasm  which  millions  of  urbane,  successful  men  have  for  the 
PLAYBOY  Magazine.     To  them  you  represent   the  excitement  end  glamour  of 
PLAYBOY.     Girls  from  all   over  the  United  States  and  from  Denmark, 
Ireland,   France,  Germany,  Ecuador,  England,   Italy  and  many  other 
countries  have  become  Bunnies  and  take  delight  in  holding  what  has  been 
called  the  "top  job  in  the  country  for  a  young  girl."     Our  Bunnies  re- 
present varied  backgrounds  —  among  them  are  former  school   teachers, 
secretaries,  actresses,  dancers,  models   and  co-eds.     Many  hold  part- 
time  Bunny  jobs  while  pursuing  full-time  careers  or  studies. 

The  close,   long-lasting  friendships  you  will  develop  and  the  excitement 
of  the  job  itself  are  an  important  part  of  the  satisfaction  of  being  a 
Bunny.     Bunnies  have   frequent  opportunities  for  travel   on  their  job. 
Playboy  Club  Bunnies,  like  celebrities,  are  frequently  pictured  in 
national  magazines   and  newspapers.     You  may  also  have  the  opoortunity  to 
make  public  appearances  for  Club  Promotions,   transfer  to  other  Clubs 
or  take  trips   to  new  Clubs  to  train  new  Bunnies.      In  addition,  you  will 
find  that  being  a  Bunny  can  be  financially  rewarding.     Your  pay  will  be 
in  direct  proportion  to  the  attention  and  service  you  provide  to  our 
Keyholders  and  their  guests.     The  sooner  you  are  able  to  consistently 
provide  the  fine,   glamorous  service  for  which  our  Clubs  have  become 
famous,  the  sooner  you  will   be  earning  top  wages.     The  requirements  and 
standards  for  Playboy  Club  Bunnies  are  high.      The  work  will  often  be 

This  manual  should  answer  many  questions   that  you  may  have  concerning 

your  new  responsibilities.      Read  it  carefully,   learn  your  duties  well 

And  again,   congratulations  and  best  of  luck  as  a  Playboy  Bunny.

Transfers 

One  of  the  advantages   that  Bunnies   enjoy  is   the  opportunity  of  moving 
to  another  city  permanently,  or  for  a  short  time,  with   the  security 
of  having  a  good  job  waiting  if  their  transfer  requests   are  approved. 
Transfer  requests  should  be  submitted  through  the  Bunny  Mother.     After 
a  Bunny  has   completed  the  Request  for  Transfer  Form,   the  Bunny  Mother 
and  General    Manager  add  their  comments  and  the  form  is  forwarded  to 
Playboy  Clubs    International.      AH    transfers  must  be  approved  by 
International.      Consideration   is  given  to  the  Bunny's  performance 
ability,   appearance,   length  of  service,  merit/demerit  status  and  the 
Bunny-staffing  needs   of  both  Clubs.

After  you  have  arranged  for  a  replacement,   call  the  Club  office  and

Bunny  Counci 1  Meetings 

Bunny  Council  was  created  to  help  in  determining  what  problems, 
suggestions  or  conments  Bunnies  may  have  which  they  are  reluctant  to 
discuss  at  an  open  Bunny  Meeting.     The  Council   consists  of  a  represen- 
tative from  each  Club  room.     At  Council  Meetings,  which  are  held  monthly 
with  the  Bunny  Mother,   the  representative  speaks  on  behalf  of  all  Bunnies 
who  work  in  her  area.     Therefore,  she  will  have  discussed  natters  of 
concern  with  the  other  Bunnies  previous   to  each  Council  meeting  and  will 
present  a  cross-section  of  opinion  and  thought.     These  ideas  are  then 
submitted  in  writing  to  the  General  Manager  by  the  Bunny  Mother.

Promoti  ons 

You  may  be  asked  to  participate  in  a  Playboy  promotion,  which  is   a 
Company-authorized  personal   appearance  made  by  a  Bunny  or  Bunnies  who 
represent  The  Playboy  Club.      It  is  considered  an  honor  to  be  chosen  to 
represent  Playboy  in  this  manner  and  if  your  appearance  and  attitude 
are1 "Bunny -worthy" ,  you  probably  will  be  chosen  often. 

Although  promotions   are  generally  assigned  by  the  Bunny  Mother  and 
General   Manager  of  your  Club,  there  will'  be  some  which  will   be  volun- 
tary.    These  are  usually  charitable  events  in  which  Bunnies  are  invited 
to  participate,   such  as   telethons,  sports  events,  visits   to  hospitals 
and  orphanages,  etc. 

When  you  are  assigned  to  most  promotions,  you  receive  payment  for  your 
time;  however.  Bunnies  who  participate  in  voluntary  promotions  are  gen- 
erally rewarded  with  merits.

Shopping  Service 

The  Playboy  Club  is  one  cf  a  long  list  of  retail  establishments, 
restaurants,  and  night  clubs  that  employs  a  shopping  service.  Shopping 
service  personnel  regularly  visit  each  Playboy  Club  and  report  to  us  on 
their  observations,  particularly  the  quality  of  our  service  and  attitude 
of  employees.  This  helps  us  to  evaluate  the  effectiveness  of  our  training 
and  root  out  carelessness  and  inefficiency,  but,  most  important,  it  also 
permits  us  to  give  recognition  to  those  employees  who  are  doing  a 

If  you  are  doing  a  good  job,  obeying  the  rules  and  giving   the  gracious 
good  service  you  are  taught  during  your  training  period,  you  nesd  not 
concern  yourself  about  the  fact  that  you  are,  from  time  to  time, 
"shopped"  by  a  shopping  service  representative.

Laundry  and  Cleg!  ""  Ij 


The  proper  use  of  makeup  is  an  invaluable  aid  in  Bunny  beauty.  Your 
Bunny  Mother  or  the  Club's  cosmetic  Bunny  can  help  you  to  learn  the 
latest  makeup  techniques  and  adapt  them  for  your  particular  needs. 

Keep  in  mind  that  our  dimly  lit  rooms  require  evening,  glamour  makeup 
for  maximum  flattery.  Skillful  eye  makeup  includes  the  use  of  shadow, 
liner  and  false  lashes;  lipstick  must  be  bright,  vivid  and  highlighted 
by  lip-gloss  to  avoid  a  "washed-out"  look.  See  page  9  for  makeup  for 
photographic  shootings. 

Personal  Hygiene 

Good  grooming  starts  with  a  daily  bath  and  good  deodorant.      Regular  use 
of  body  lotion  will    keep  your  skin  soft  and  pretty.     Special   attention 
must  be  given  to  your  hands  and  nails;  make  sure  that  they  are  always 
clean  and  well  manicured.     However,  wash  hands   thoroughly  after  applying 
perfume,   lotion  or  hair  spray.     These  preparations   impart  an  odor  that 
clings  to  glasses  and  produces   an  undesirable  flavor  to  cocktails. 


Helpful   Hints   for  Bui 


Hose  should  be  rinsed  in  cold  water  and  refrigerated 
before  wearing  for  extra  service. 

To  relieve  tired  feet,   soak  them  in  a  solution  of 
epsom  salt  and  warm  water  for  one  half  hour,   then 
elevate  feet.     Massage  your  legs  w'ith  an  upward 
motion  from  ankles   to  thighs. 

Try  rolling  your  feet  over  an  empty  coke  bottle. 

Arch  your  back  during   costume  fitting  for  best 
possible  fit.
